It looks like I got distracted by all the topics in the meetings notes, and misunderstood the scope of the discussion.
Instead you were seeking feedback on the specific proposed change:
Today, Raco does support providing Git names in dependencies, but doing so does not receive first class treatment, since the dependency must be indicated via full URL (
"git://github.com/michaelballantyne/syntax-spec.git#v0.1") instead of simply a package name and a version name (like("syntax-spec" #:version "v0.1")), and also, using such a dependency prevents the docs for the package from being built.
Is that right?
